Opener Frame Down-Force
Crushing Hazard:
You will be seriously injured or killed if you
are caught between raising openers and drill frame. Always
stop tractor engine, set park brake, and remove key before
adjusting or servicing openers. Keep all bystanders well away
during drill operation.
High Pressure Fluid Hazard:
Escaping fluid under pressure
can penetrate the skin causing serious injury. Avoid the hazard
by relieving pressure before disconnecting hydraulic lines. Use
a piece of paper or cardboard, NOT BODY PARTS, to check
for suspected leaks. Wear protective gloves and safety glasses
or goggles when working with hydraulic systems. If an
accident occurs, see a doctor immediately.
Hydraulic opener down pressure controls drill-wide
opener penetration and press-wheel soil firming. Use
only enough down pressure to cut a furrow and maintain
proper soil-firming over seed. Excessive opener down
force may cause bulldozing of the openers in light soil
conditions, and leads to premature wear on opener
components.
The table at right shows the approximate force at
openers for a given pressure at the pressure control
valve.
NOTE:
To account for additional compaction from drill and
tractor tires, set pressure on center openers slightly
higher than wing openers.
To run the drill with constant opener down pressure
requires an Active Hydraulic System. An Active Hydraulic
System requires a tractor with closed-center hydraulics
or pressure/flow compensated hydraulics powered by a
variable displacement hydraulic pump. (If you are not
familiar with your tractor’s hydraulics, consult your tractor
dealer.)
Machine Damage Risk
: Tractors with load-sensing hydraulics
must use the bypass valve to operate the drill. Failure to use
the bypass valve can cause major tractor damage. Before
adjusting opener down pressure, set bypass valve per “
NOTE:
To run the drill on tractors with open-center hydraulics
or on tractors with fixed displacement hydraulic
pumps you must install a Great Plains kit, part number
194-143A. Contact your Great Plains dealer for
ordering information. See “
